28 Nov Hey Podcaster! The iRony Newsletter Sets Sail with Podcast Industry Insights!
⛵Get ready to set sail with The iRony Newsletter in it’s flagship email broadcast from Marc Ronick at iRonick Media discussing weekly podcasting news, tips, and resources!🎙️
🤯It’s hard to believe we’re in the final stretch of 2022 and possibly even harder to believe we’re almost 3 years removed from the pandemic lockdown in 2020.
It’s also hard for me to believe that after 3 years of iRonick Media, I’ve never shared a newsletter of any kind. That changes now!
🗓️I will send out a weekly email keeping you in touch with things going on in the industry as well as my podcasting tips & tricks to help you with your podcast. I promise to keep it to once a week and will not share your information with anyone without your consent.
With that said, let’s dive in…
📰Podcasting in the news
Have you heard about YouTube’s next evolution? They’re officially getting into the podcasting business! Yes, it’s true many people have been publishing audio and video content on YouTube for a while but the video platform has recently added a dedicated podcast team and podcast section to make the experience better for podcasters and their audiences. You can see their podcast section at youtube.com/podcasts (Currently only visible to those in the U.S.)
What does this mean for your podcast? There are a lot of possibilities and one of the biggest ones, in my opinion, is it could significantly expand your reach & discoverability. Here’s everything you need to know before making the leap to YouTube:
Do’s and don’ts for posting full podcast episodes
Monetize with the YouTube Partner Program
💰Want a way to earn some extra cash?
Looking back at iRonick’s 3 year history, it appears that our number 1 source of new business has been…referrals! So first and foremost, thank you to those of you that have referred your friends, family and colleagues.
Moving forward, I want to return the favor when you refer a podcaster or potential podcaster to me. I’m rolling out a new referral program effective immediately. You’ll receive a 15% commission for anyone you refer to me that purchases any of the following packages you see here: https://ironickmedia.com/services/
Please note that these package prices are going to go up for new clients in 2023; the first time I’ll have raised my prices since the company started. So if you know someone who’s been thinking about podcasting, now’s a great time to introduce them to me. You can give them my email address or this link to schedule a free call with me: https://calendly.com/ironickmedia/freestrategycall
